  • Publication number: 20260082009
    Abstract: An image-stitching method compensates electronic rolling shutter (ERS) distortion and parallax to produce a composite image. A first and second image from respective sensors are received. An ERS correction mapping is computed at a lower resolution than a parallax correction mapping. A far point and a near point defining an initial epipolar line are identified. A compensated near point is determined from ERS data, and a compensated epipolar line is formed by linear interpolation between the far point and the compensated near point. A one-dimensional search along the compensated epipolar line yields a parallax translation between the images. A warp mapping is determined from the parallax translation and the ERS correction mapping, and applied to blend the images into a composite. The technique decouples ERS estimation from parallax and is suitable for multi-sensor capture devices and post-capture stitching.

  • Patent number: 12483664
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for image signal processing. For example, methods may include receiving a first image from a first image sensor, receiving a second image from a second image sensor; obtaining corrected images based on the first image and the second image; obtaining stabilized images based on the corrected images; applying a parallax correction to the stabilized images to obtain a composite image; obtaining a transformed image from the composite image; and encoding an output image based on the transformed image.

  • Publication number: 20100142855
    Abstract: The image processing system using morphological macrocells comprises: an image acquisition device, a set of memories, a computation block, and a control system. The computation block includes k morphological macrocells (50) each including a set of basic morphological cells (51, 52, 61, 62) organized into parallel branches (f, g), each cell (51, 52, 61, 62) executing a basic erosion, dilation or identity function based on the use of linear structuring elements, the functionality of each morphological cell and the size of the structuring elements being programmable dynamically and the parallel streams coming from the basic morphological cells being combined at the output by an arithmetic and logic unit (70). At least one system for parallelizing the data for processing a plurality of lines, respectively a plurality of columns, in parallel breaks down a word into p parallel data streams and is connected to the p morphological macrocell inputs.
